On Saturday, October 26th, a man and woman walked into the 7-Eleven convenience store at 4975 South Florida Avenue in Lakeland and went their separate ways within the store.
The woman was acting a bit suspicious though, and after a few minutes she reunited with the man and both walked out of the store.
A review of security video showed exactly why the woman was putting off that suspicious vibe…she was stuffing a large number of Pre-Paid phone cards into her bag. The woman then took several phone chargers and put those into her bag as well.
The couple left together in a newer model white Hyundai.
